Roles that Had 3 or More Decent Portrayls


Recommended Posts

Name a some soap role that had three OR MORE actors who did a good job in the role.

Dorian OLTL- Nancy Pinkerton, Claire Malis, Elaine Princi and of course Robin Strasser were all good. It was refreshing to see the sex pot femme fatale version of Dorian that Claire played in the 1977 episode on YT.

Adam Y&R- All four Adams have been good so far, with Michael Muhney having been the best. I'm not sure whether Grossman or Hartley was the superior Adam.

I think people might argue Ellen Dolan was a bit miscast, but I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen from Margaret Colin, Hillary B. Smith, and ED as Margo as ATWT.

Y&R: Phyllis. Stafford, Sandra Nelson, and Gina Tognoni have all been great in the role, even though Stafford fell into her oddball patterns in the mid-2000s.

GH: We’ll act like Jennifer Bransford didn’t happen (just like GH did when they inventively brought back the two most successful actresses in the role), but Sarah Brown, Tamara Braun, and Laura Wright have all played Carly to the hilt.

Carly owns this list. That role is a prime example of different actresses bringing something distinct and memorable to the role. I'm sure the modern average soap viewer could readily identify the 3 different Carlys before they knew that Dorian or another long time roll had been recasted.

As much as I act like the Jennifer Bransford era didn't exist it would have been cool to have her back in 2014 during the 3 Carlys scene or at least for the 60th.

Haha

I saw both of Brenda's run as Jill. I actually preferred her I'm a diva and I'm the star of the show run from 1983-1987.

I don't mind the Alexis Carrington version of Jill. It's just her acting needed work to keep up with that. Jess Walton is solid in the role, just not as entertaining as over the top BD. I wish diva Jill had more interactions with Lauren and Victor!

Noticing many Y&R actreses added some camp in their second runs. Michelle Stafford and Victoria Rowell (Victoria not as extreme as the other two).

JR Chandler had memorable portrayers: Kevin Alexander was a strong child actor, especially through the Tad/Dixie/Liza triangle. Jesse McCartney was beloved in the role and unnecessarily recast. Jonathan Bennett had to potential to be THE adult JR, if only the show signed him to a contract. He handled Dixie’s death well, and JR’s role in the Proteus saga. Andrew Riddings, miscast and green. Jacob young, deserved an Emmy his first year for his “Judas” speech after Adam returned Miranda to the Kanes.

    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
    • Angry Dante was hot; sorry, but I'm not going to pretend it wasn't awesome seeing Dominic Zamprogna act his ass off in a way that was not crying.
    • Thanks, interesting and so believable (no Lonatrat or Clones...)Instead of the Lewis family he should have made the Oil family Granger...even if the audience didn't remember that one off character it would have been interesting to tie it into the fictional GL world.
    • Dante needs stick removed from his butt
    • When you bring up what I like to call "Shapiro's Folly" you think Dano's acting choices mattered? I ask because I don't think so. As far as I could tell almost universally the ABC fans hated the very idea of her being on all 4 shows! And, BTW, the headwriters also hated it, at least according to comments made by Passanante. But, it is not hard to imagine that they'd feel that way. And, I agreed. If she wanted success she should have planted "Rae" on one & given up her idea of branding, or whatever it was that she was after.  
    • Okay, well her reasons were that she had a mandate to reduce the size of the cast & she had another mandate to make the cast overall younger, so her reason for picking Donna to off was because she was too old.  So, is that what you understand? Or are you thinking of something else? Which if so, I would be delighted to hear about it!  She had arbitrarily picked 50 as the age people needed to be younger than.  And, that is why she got rid of both Bridget & Spencer Harrison.  And, getting rid of Bridget was another of her horrible ideas.  Why do you refer to her as the Face of the Show? Don't feel bad. I am a major Cass fan & I don't remember him with Donna either, LOL! Can we say forgettable? And, yes, Lila was the most last minute of last minutes!!!! 
    • This is AWESOME, thank you for taking the time to post this! My first thought: My memory is a lot better than I thought it was, LOL! The first episode I clearly remember watching had a scene of Ed confronting Holly about Christina's paternity. He lamented how wonderful things had been over Christmas, so looks like I started watching the show early 1976. The only thing puzzling me is where is Evie? I thought she was around BEFORE Rita got involved with Tim, but maybe that's one gap in my memory. It makes Rita look slightly better--in that case, she didn't seduce Tim knowing her sister had a crush on him.
    • Oh, well.  At least he can cry into his hoodie.
    • Sorry, just realized I'd somehow lost a whole paragraph in that last post.
